Bordeaux 937 is a deep, rich red with a wine-like undertone – strong yet subtle enough to combine easily with other colours. The solid dye looks even and calm without being overpowering.
At 220 g/m² this jersey sits in the medium-weight range: it drapes softly without being see-through, and thanks to the 95% cotton combined with 5% elastane it keeps a good recovery after stretching. The hand feels smooth, pleasant against the skin and not too thin.
The fabric drapes close to the body without clinging, making it suitable for patterns that need some movement and flow. With a fabric width of 155 cm, larger pattern pieces can still be cut economically. The residual shrinkage of 5% should be factored in when cutting so the finished garment keeps its intended fit.
What Vanessa Bordeaux is suitable for
- Suitable for shirts and long-sleeve tops, as the 220 g/m² jersey is opaque enough and the elastane content ensures a comfortable fit.
- Suitable for dresses and skirts, as the weight gives enough body without feeling stiff.
- Suitable for bodysuits and children's clothing, since the fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and tested for harmful substances.
- Suitable for leggings, as the 5% elastane content provides the necessary stretch.
Sewing tips

- Kombination mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode für Bündchen und Halsausschnitte.
